She just sat there a moment then gave me a look. Normaly she opens it herself so it just shuts after her.

Asked about the safety issue of her sleeping in the washer: Someone told me they lost a cat that way. Never was one to start it without looking but it sure was a surprise the first time I opened the lid and found Stewie in there. He started sleeping in there and she learned from him. I kept it unplugged for awhile so no one could turn it on without thinking, just in case. But I was the only one that used to just toss laundry in it, now I just keep blankets in there for Pua to sleep on and use the hamper and a closing box for the pee pads.

Stewie was the problem though, he loved his washing machine so much he would crawl in while it was running! I had to put heavy stuff on the lid and keep a close eye on him.

Someday I want to get this washer/dryer combo I saw(not staked literally in one machine). Then it could replace the drier and Pua could stay snug in the old washer unconnected and undisturbed even on laundry day.
